...calorie beverages were already overweight or at higher risk of metabolic syndrome, and chose the diet drinks in an effort to get healthier. But Pierce's work hints that a more basic, biological mechanism may be at work. The animals in his study were able to predict the amount of calories in a food based on taste, demonstrating that the body uses cues like taste and texture to make sure it's getting enough fuel. Just as Pierce's rats were fooled into thinking they hadn't absorbed enough calories after eating diet chow, people are preprogrammed to anticipate sugary...
...Toshiba Studio, did not emit any particles. But of the 40% that did, many, such as the HP LaserJet 1320 and 4250 models, were classified as "high-level emitters." Emissions, researchers found, were printer-specific and fluctuated depending on the age of the toner cartridge and the amount of toner a document required. It was unclear exactly what mechanism dispersed the particles into the air, but researchers think it had to do with how laser-printer cartridges access and use dry toner or with the printer's mechanical abrasion, wear and age. It's likely that different printers emit particles...
...recognizing that these students are not professionals and can be overwhelmed by a crash course in How to Be a Shrink 101. Instead, RAs are being trained to refer students in potential danger to trained professionals who are best equipped to assist them. "We used to provide a huge amount of information about mental health and counseling, and our RAs sometimes felt overwhelmed, or like they were counselors themselves," said Travis Hill, director of residential life at Hamilton, in a press release. "That's bad for them, and bad for the troubled student. Now, we're focused on making...
...still too early to know why the Minneapolis bridge collapsed; the Minnesota transportation department was considered one of the nation's best. But Bush was right to challenge congressional highway pork in 2005, just as he was right to try to squeeze congressional water pork last week. No amount of money is going to fix these problems if Congress continues to approach them Don Young...
...chief problem with the sensor technology is how to find an inexpensive way of transmitting the sensors' data to computers. Sensors currently rely on batteries that often need to be replaced, and they require a fair amount of bulky hardware. "Right now, it wouldn't be a cost-effective way [to monitor changes] on structures like bridges," Farrar says. So his team is testing small, remote-controlled helicopters that would send a pulse to provide power to the sensor, take a reading and send it back to the helicopter's computer and then transmit the data to officials...
